Hi everybody,I installed XAMPP on a Mac, no problems, installed joomla 1.5.9, no problems, then I tried to install modules or templates or whatever from the Joomla Administrator but i always get the same message: "There was an error uploading this file to the server - Unable to find install package". Folders permissions are ok, restarted XAMPP, FTP support for Joomla is disabled, file size upload is ok and extensions are mostly a few Kb, web services for Joomla are on, well, EVERYTHING that I could find on forums everywhere I did. Any idea? I am SO frustrated, 3 hours now so far.Thanks in advance to everybody.

Which XAMPP version do you use?If you use the latest version (XAMPP v1.7.2a), maybe Joomla isn't compatible with PHP 5.3 yet.

I have only started my Joomla installation once with the new PHP version. I got a lot of errors (I had set error reporting to E_STRICT), but it seems to be working. I didn't try to install modules yet.

I've been bothering with the XAMMP and Joomla for some time, and always as the result of installing anything in Joomla (module or com) I was getting an error.

Finally I figured out what about all this is. I did: - change the permission to my temp directory in XAMPP directory- change the permission to the folders of htdocs and as well I did change the permission to my joomla installation directory I did this from the terminal, using the: <code> chmod -vD 777 /directoryname </code> command
